Blue Bottle Coffee

☕🌞 Berkeley Bliss: Sipping Sunshine at Blue Bottle Coffee 🌇🥛

My recent visit to Blue Bottle Coffee in Berkeley, California, was a delightful rendezvous with caffeinated goodness. But before we dive into the details, did you know that Berkeley's charm often lies in its corner cafes, inviting you to soak in the Californian sun? 🌞

Now, let's spill the beans on our Blue Bottle experience:
Aesthetic Ambiance:
🏞 Corner Perfection: Nestled in a good old corner location, the café was a picturesque escape.
🪟 A Flood of Natural Light: The abundant windows let the Californian sunshine pour in, creating an inviting atmosphere.
Coffee Chronicles:
🥛 Oat Milk Extravaganza: For the coffee connoisseurs who favour oat milk, this place has your back.
📡 Wi-Fi Wonders: Open Wi-Fi was a boon, and the landing page greeted us with tempting discounts. Perfect for those who want to pair their coffee with a bit of work or leisure.
🌐 The Need for Speed: On the flip side, the Wi-Fi speed left something to be desired, clocking in at 4.3Mbps for download and 0.3Mbps for upload. Streaming might be a tad sluggish here.
🎶 Jazzy Vibes: An upbeat, jazzy soundtrack played in the background, creating a pleasant ambiance without drowning out conversation.

In conclusion, my time at Blue Bottle Coffee in Berkeley was a sunny affair. With an excellent location, a cascade of natural light, and oat milk for your java, it's a charming spot to sip and savour. Just don't forget to bring your own honey and cinnamon if you like to sweeten the deal🍯🍂.

My go to place for drip coffee filters (best engineered!) and gifts for coffee nerd friends (including me😊)

Add a croissant or cookie to sweeten the gift 🎁

The space: open and inviting, good for friends catch up or business talk.

Egg bites are way more delicious than Starbucks’, but it's $6 and a bit tiny.
I tried the New Orleans NOLA latte, and it feels like it has oat milk in it. If you don't like oat milk, I would recommend a latte.

I bought a bag of coffee beans from target. Taste is smooth bold but not to strong. I used a coffee press and added alittle oat milk sprinkle of cinnamon its pretty good. If you can have a cup of coffee with out all the sugars and it taste good and not bitter...its good coffee. Now that I'm aware this is a local business I will come in and try it out.

Minimalist interior but the coffee packs flavor. Oat milk is the standard but they have other options. Pastries also looked good but I didn’t get to try them. Gibraltar (cortado) not on the menu but available.

Haven't tried the food yet, but the coffee is great.
Great technique and attention to detail. Ordered an espresso yesterday and the barista pulled the shot 3 times to make sure it was dialed in well. We were chatting so he let me try the first to to see the difference (one was over extracted, one under).
Went back this morning to grab a pour over. Equally good.
Great atmosphere Love all the windows on the street corner.

Cozy vibes cafe with super gentle & warm barista 😌 and there latte is amazing
*It’s a popular cafe here, and you can tell they put effort in each cup, so might need to wait a little longer compare to other shops

Exclusive coffee. Personal best coffee in town.
The coffee joint also have a clean ambiance..perfect for work.
Definitely try Caffe latter and Caffe mocha.. pricey but worth the penny.

All the coffee are drip coffee and hand prepared!

The Apple store of coffee shops....There is just something special about the coffee here that I think justifies the hype. The hand poured coffee has a sublime and unique character to it and is just a joy to drink. The cappuccino​s are also very good (only one size though). Blue Bottle isn't cheap but worth popping by every now and then. The avocado toast is amazing!

Blue Bottle remain in many ways the gold standard among 3rd wave cafes, outstanding espresso, cortado. Do not miss the waffles!

Blue Bottle serves the best pour-over coffee in town! Try the ginger molasses cookie for an indulgent, flavorful treat.

Get the cold brew to go (comes in a can -- it's specially lined as to not impart a metallic taste from acidic corrosion.)

Very nice, modern looking place. Not too much seating or outlets, so I wouldn't spread out 10 books here for mcat studying or anything like that, but I would come here for like a 1:1 meeting or hangout. Coffee here is good too.

Stopped in because I needed coffee on my delivery. The gentleman was very nice asked me what I liked and he gave me a sample of the slow cold brew and it was great . So I ordered a cup of that and a breakfast sandwich. A little pricy but it was worth it.

The most wonderful coffee you can get! Very modern and stylish shop and experience; if you're into this, it's perfect!

Amazing customer service and amazing coffee. Also, the space looks amazingly simple, what I love!

The everything croissant was excellent. The lattes looked beautiful. The coffee definitely pricey. Simple lay out of store.

Must-go if you enjoy drinking black coffee. Best coffee I have ever had. The “Three-Africas” cold blew has a flavor profile of berry, grape, and a tinge of lemon. I can can tell it was recently roasted, ground that morning, and stored in an airtight container to prevent oxidation.

Ignore the other reviews here that say the “coffee” is bad when they are ordering lattes that ruin the exotic, rare bean flavor with flavorings like sugars and creams (Yuck!). Good coffee is COFFEE: beans and water. They probably don’t know the difference between ground vs non-ground (can’t differentiate between oxidation) and watered down vs. strong tasting black coffee because all they ever taste is their artificial sweeteners, milk, and flavorings! Not sure what they were expecting at $6 a cup, perhaps that the cow was milked that hour for ‘freshness?’? LOL!

Will definitely be ordering their Three Africas whole beans so I can grind and brew at home. 10/10.

Just had a perfect breve latte. The shop serves delicious coffee every time I visit.

First time at this location, but stopped in for a cold brew. Friendly service and great tasting coffee.

Great coffee and fresh sandwiches.. service is also good..
